You have isolated a mutant strain of Bacillus subtilis (which you designate wimP) whose endospores can be killed by boiling wate
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e. "higher water content".

Explanation:

One of the features that make endospores resistant to high heat in its low water content. The cortex of the endospore osmotically removes the water from the interior of the endospore, condition that protects them from heat and radiation. The wimP spores that can be killed by boiling water most likely have a higher water content in comparison to wild-type endospore. This explains why wimP spores are susceptible to be killed with the heat generated by boiling water.

The Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. However, the oldest sea floor is only about 180 million years old. What do you think i
natita [175]

Answer:

The seafloor is only 180 million years old due to the process of subduction. The floor of the sea's tends to get colder and denser with the passage of time. At a certain time, the seafloor becomes so dense that it sinks in the upper mantle. The Earth's crust cannot undergo this process and hence has oldest rocks. We can say that the seafloor is less than 180 million years old because it is typically recycled back into the mantle of the Earth.
